Chapter 193: The Killing Ring (I)
After ordering Meng Tian to lead his troops to the fiefdom of Taiyuan County to be killed, Ying Zheng received an edict from his mother, Zhao Ji.
The edict said that Yingzheng's age had reached the age of pro-government, so Zhao Ji was ready to return the military power to him and let him go to Yongcheng to return all the rights in his hands to him in front of the ancestor king of the Qin clan.
Ying Zheng looked at the edict in his hand, and then asked Zhao Gao to take the edict to Li Si, Wei Yi and Meng Yi to watch it, and asked their opinions.
After Li Siwei and Meng Yi read Zhao Ji's edict, they all nodded. Li Si said to King Yingzheng of Qin: "Your Majesty, no matter what the situation is now, the Queen Mother is always your biological mother, and she now wants to return the power to the king, and she is in front of the Qin clan, so the king should go in person." Wei Yi and Meng Yi also agreed with Li Si's words.
After listening to this, Ying Zheng said: "Okay, let's see what kind of medicine is sold in the widow's mother's gourd." There is a way not to enter the tiger's den to get the tiger, so the widow goes to Yongcheng for a walk. Zhao Gao, go and summon Changping Jun and Chang Wenjun to the widow, and let them take people to follow the widow to Yongcheng this time. ”
Zhao Gao had to order him to go outside the palace to convey Yingzheng's will to Changpingjun and Changwenjun. Changping Jun and Chang Wenjun are the younger brothers of Queen Mi Fang'er, after Mi Fang'er became the queen of Qin, she called her two younger brothers with the best relationship to Qin, and became an official in Qin.
Ying Zheng immediately issued an order and ordered all the officials in Xianyang City of Qin to accompany him to Yongcheng. Since the queen mother is going to hand over the rights, there is no need to hold on to the rights in the hands of Xiangguo Lu Buwei, so Yingzheng sent someone to send a decree to Xiangguo, hoping that on the day of Yongcheng's own pro-government, he can return the rights in his hands to himself.
Lü Buwei received Yingzheng's will at home, and he also gathered many of his disciples to discuss whether to hand over the power in his hands.
Lü Buwei's disciples were divided into two factions, one faction agreed to hand over the rights, and the empress dowager had already handed over her rights, so how could the prime minister not hand them over? The other half was opposed, after all, handing over the rights was equivalent to handing over his own talisman, and the consequences were unpredictable.
Seeing that what the two factions said made sense, Lü Buwei also fell into a dilemma for a while. The power in his hands is only higher than that of the Empress Dowager Zhao Ji, and he is now a very popular minister, although the first king promised to be in charge of the power of Qin when he died, but this right is always to return to the hands of King Yingzheng of Qin. He has been in power for so many years, and he is also thinking about his future, he now has a fief and 100,000 households, if he is a pension prince after handing over power, he can spend the rest of his life in peace. It's just that according to Yingzheng's temperament, will he let go of himself who has no rights?
Lü Buwei took his attention, his true nature as a businessman was revealed again, and he decided to take a gamble. So he called his righteous son, Liu Zhendong, who was in Yongcheng, and asked him to give up Xianyang City and Yong
All the land and property of the city returned to their fiefdoms to make plans.
A day later, the army led by Ying Zheng Yijia and Meng Tian separated outside Xianyang City, Ying Zheng to the west and Meng Tian to the east.
The distance between Xianyang City and Yongcheng is very short, and it took less than half a day for the King of Qin's ceremonial frame to arrive in Yongcheng, and as usual, all the officials of Yongcheng went out of the city to greet them.
Looking at King Yingzheng of Qin, who was surrounded by many civil and military officials in the distance, he clenched his fists: "Yingzheng, your death time has come, since you want me to die, then I can only kill you, the King of Qin, in order to survive, don't worry, if you die my son, your half-brother will continue to help you sit on the throne." ”
Returned to the old palace of Yongcheng, according to the convention, the prince of Qin needs to be held in the Qi Nian Palace in the old palace, so this Ying Zheng rested in the Qi Nian Palace.
When all the officials dispersed, Yingzheng took Zhang Han to the dormitory of the Empress Dowager Zhao Ji to say goodbye to his mother.
After Zhao Ji gave birth to a child, her body recovered as before, so she was naturally not afraid to see Yingzheng. So when Ying Zheng arrived in the palace to bow to her, Zhao Ji got up from the couch and personally helped Ying Zheng up.
Zhao Ji looked at this son who had grown up with his suffering, and a smile appeared on his face. "Zheng'er, the queen mother hasn't seen you for more than a year, see you this time, let the queen mother take a good look at you. ”
Zhao Ji's sudden enthusiasm made Ying Zheng a little uncomfortable, and the hatred for Zhao Ji in his heart suddenly decreased. "The queen mother, the widow is busy with state affairs, and she has no time to take care of the queen mother, so the queen mother is wronged alone in this huge old palace. Although there is not much left of the mother-son relationship between the two, Yingzheng still treats Zhao Ji politely.
Zhao Ji pulled Yingzheng to sit in his seat, pointed to the delicacies on the table in front of him and said, "Look, these are your favorite dishes, the queen mother knew that you were here, and she specially asked someone to make them." ”
"The queen mother bothered, and Zheng'er thanked her mother. ”
Zhao Ji smiled: "Silly child, what are you doing so politely with the queen mother, eat quickly." ”
Ying Zheng looked at the delicacies in front of him, he didn't pick up the dishes, he smiled and said to the queen mother: "The queen mother doesn't know, tomorrow I will worship my father and the first kings, the widow will ban eating and drinking tonight, and I will burn incense and bathe after I go back." I ask the queen mother to forgive her sins, and wait until tomorrow when the widow is in power, and the queen mother will return to the palace with the widow, and then the widow will accompany the queen mother to dine together. ”
After Ying Zheng finished speaking, he stood up and left his seat, bowed to Zhao Ji and said goodbye, and then left Zhao Ji's bedroom.
As soon as Ying Zheng left, he walked out from behind the screen behind Zhao Ji, he looked at the dishes in front of Zhao Ji and said, "What, didn't he eat a bite?"
Zhao Ji nodded, and she asked, "Does he know about us, or is he already suspicious of me, otherwise how would he know that this food is poisonous?"
Looking at the gate of the dormitory, "Ying Zheng's mind is no longer what it was a few years ago, and his Li Si, Wei Yi and others are not fuel-efficient lamps over the years
, Besides, there is also Lu Buwei, an old fox, who taught him by word and deed in front of him, seeing that you are so enthusiastic about him, it is certain that you are suspicious in your heart, so you don't have to worry. ”
After a pause, he continued: "Since he doesn't eat soft food, then I have to give him hard food. I have already placed all my men in the palace, and when he finishes worshipping the first queen of Qin tomorrow morning and you return the rights to him, an order will be given, and my people will surround the Qinian Palace, and Yingzheng and his men will not be able to escape. After I kill Ying Zheng, you will announce to the world in the name of the Queen Mother, saying that Ying Zheng intends to kill his mother, depose him, and then make our son the new King of Qin. ”
"Okay, since the mourning family is from you, then everything will be up to you. ”
On the second day, because Ying Zheng was going to hold a pro-government ceremony, the entire Qi Nian Palace was surrounded by a thousand forbidden troops brought by Zhang Han. The Empress Dowager Zhao Ji sat on the seat in front of the palace, Xiangguo Lu Buwei, Taifu Li Si and Wei Yi Mengyi and others, as well as a group of accompanying officials, all kneeling on the platform in front of the palace in Qinian Palace, waiting for the coronation ceremony of King Yingzheng of Qin to begin.
"Woo~~" With the sound of a heavy trumpet, King Yingzheng of Qin, who had worshiped the ancestors of the Qin Kingdom, appeared under the steps of the Qinian Palace. Ying Zheng was dressed in a black embroidered gold royal costume and a crown, accompanied by Zhang Han and Zhao Gao behind him, and walked towards everyone step by step.
Yingzheng walked up the steps and sat down on the platform in front of the Qinian Palace, Lü Buwei took the lead, and all the princes and ministers present worshiped Yingzheng of Qin. After the three kneeling and nine bowing ceremony, Zhao Gao, who was behind Ying Zheng, took a step forward and said loudly: "The prince's pro-government ceremony begins." After saying that, he retreated behind Ying Zheng.
The musicians who had been waiting for a long time rang the chimes and played with the others.
First of all, Li Si stepped forward, stood at the top of the steps and read aloud to the sky the deeds of Yingzheng since his ascension to the throne, and then sang praises to the ancestors of the Qin State and prayed for the eternal existence of the Qin State. After Li Si finished speaking, the ceremony was officially started, Ying Zheng left his seat, walked to Zhao Ji next to him, knelt on the ground, stretched out his hands, and waited for Zhao Ji to put the seal representing the king of Qin on his hand.
Zhao Ji looked at Ying Zheng who was kneeling in front of her, and her heart was mixed, no matter what, this is her own son, and the meat that fell from her body is going to die in front of her today, and she is still dying in her own hands, no matter what, Zhao Ji is a little uncomfortable in her heart.
Just as Zhao Ji picked up the seal and was about to put it in Yingzheng's hand, a large group of armored warriors suddenly appeared around the Qi Nian Palace, and then surrounded the Qi Nian Palace.
The samurai at the foot of the steps of the palace parted a path, and the samurai, who were also wearing armor and holding swords, led a group of samurai up the steps to the platform in front of the palace.
"You are so bold, is this the place where eunuchs like you come? You still dare to bring troops here, do you want to rebel?" Lu Buwei stood up and shouted loudly.
